hands » Laying on of » Lifted up

“Arise, cry aloud in the night,
At the beginning of the night watches;
Pour out your heart like water
Before the presence of the Lord;
Lift up your hands to Him
For the life of your little ones
Who are faint from hunger
At the head of every street.”
Let my prayer be counted as incense before You;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
I reach out my hands to You;
My throat thirsts for You, as a parched land [thirsts for water]. Selah.
Hear the voice of my supplication (specific requests, humble entreaties) as I cry to You for help,
As I lift up my hands and heart toward Your innermost sanctuary (Holy of Holies).
So will I bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
Lift up your hands to the sanctuary
And bless the Lord.
